Our hearts are heavy this week as we compare the Empire's actions on Ghorman to real-world parallels. This week, as we recap Andor's “Who Are You?” (S2, E8), we draw connections to the Gleiwitz incident that kicked off WWII, student massacres in Tiananmen Square, and sniper deaths in Syria—plus the Los Angeles protests and Minnesota political assassinations. It has not been a fun week, y'all!!!!We talk false flag operations, compare the story of Ghorman to that of Lothal, and ask whether non-violent protest would have gotten the Ghormans any further. And we finally close the chapter on Star Wars' most compelling couple.New to Growing Up Skywalker? Come join us for non-toxic Star Wars recaps from a veteran and a new fan.

You wouldn't steal a Corellian corvette! Unless you're a rebel, I suppose...
A clever mix of stakes material and spiritual? A return to Lothal, only to find it terribly transformed under the industrial violence of the Empire?

We are almost at the end of Star Wars Rebels season 3! We discuss the second to last episode of the season, Zero Hour Part 1. The rebels are getting ready for an attack on Lothal but Grand Admiral Thrawn has other plans. This episode has a lot of bad timing sexiness and a lot of characters forgot they were in a Star Wars. Listen to find out what the divas have to say!
Lothal, the central planet in Star Wars Rebels, became one of the most important flash points leading up to the rebellion. From a lush, vibrant planet to yet another one of the Empire's decimated environments... and a return to glory. We dive deep into its history and characters.

For nearly 50 years, the Galactic Civil War—the Star Wars conflict we all know and love—was the central focus of the original Star Wars trilogy. From the early campaigns on Lothal to the epic Battle of Endor, this war shaped the galaxy. But here's the real question: How "civil" was this conflict?
Is there such a thing as having too many hot men in a Star War story? In this episode of Dark Side Divas we discuss the Star Wars Rebels episode "An inside man" (s3e10). Ezra and Kanan return to Lothal, but the Empire has complete control of the planet. Thrawn is developing a secret new weapon, and we find out who is Fulcrum.

The Cantina Happy Hour crew is discussing some of their favorite story arcs from the animated Star Wars series. This week we are looking at the first two episodes of thew second season of Rebels: The Siege of Lothal: 1 & 2!
Well, that's it. Rebels is done. What a ride! From the epic action to the thrilling post-war coda, this episode encapsulated the true meaning of rebellion. We cried (a lot). "Family Reunion - And Farewell" (Season 4, Episode 15) pulls together everything the Rebels needed to pull off the biggest mission they've ever undertaken—the polestar of the whole series—the liberation of Lothal. Thrawn can't even hope to thwart them this time. But just as Rebels giveth, Rebels taketh away, and we spend time coming to terms with the sacrifices that Lothal's liberation required. What's next for Growing Up Skywalker? We're getting Andor and Chopper on the big screen together to figure out why the other shoe never dropped on Lothal in ROGUE ONE!!!

In "A World Between Worlds" (Season 4, Episode 13), we get the answer to Ahsoka's fate from waaaaaay back in Season 3. (SHE LIVES!!!) As Ezra is forced into a devastating choice, the Phoenix cell is left with burnt bridges and scarce resources. But they are Rebels—and this is where they excel. In "A Fool's Hope" (Season 4, Episode 14) the Rebels scrape together every ally they can for a daring plan to finish this once and for all: To liberate Lothal, no matter the cost.

X-wings and Major Plot Development, here we come. The rebel assault in "Rebel Assault" (Rebels S4, 9) goes off with a bang, but then goes down in flames. With our heroes on the run or worse, the Loth-wolves have important information to share with Kanan. However, "Jedi Night"(Rebels S4,10) breaks the mold about what a star wars episode is, and we are left dealing with devastating fallout both on Lothal and in the hearts of watchers. We still have more of Rebels S4, but the stakes have never been higher for what will happen on Lothal. Send Us Your Thoughts: S4 of Rebels is a short one…and new shows have come out since we started.

In this episode of Dark Side Divas, we discuss the Star Wars Rebels episode "A Princess on Lothal" (s2e12). Before we jump into the episode, Chris has a formal announcement regarding the controversy surrounding his comments on Kanan's ponytail. Stef questions her life choices. Then we jump right into the episode that involves one of our favorite Star Wars characters. Listen to hear what the divas have to say!

On all levels except physical, this episode is just wolves. We delve deeper into Loth-wolf lore in “Kindred” and “Crawler Commandeers” (Rebels S4, 7–8) as we learn they can step across space and time…and drop our intrepid heroes in the path of sinister Imperial plots on Lothal. As the Rebellion's invasion of Lothal approaches, TIE Defenders may be not be their biggest worry. Send Us Your Thoughts: S4 of Rebels is a short one…and new shows have come out since we started.

A tension has settled over Lothal. The Empire has locked down the entire planet, and is debuting the new and improved TIE defender. Fortunately, this gives Sabine and Ezra pretty much every chance to shine. In our recap of “The Occupation” and “Flight of the Defender” (Rebels S4, 5–6) we talk about Loth-wolves, environmentalism, and the fever pitch of Imperial atrocities. And (duh) we sing a swan song to the TIE Defender Elite and why it might be even more important than the Death Star. These episodes are tough to talk about with spoiling Episode IV, A New Hope, which reminds us how close we are to the original trilogy!

As we return from the midseason finale, we get a trio of episodes that represent the three major emerging categories of Star Wars Rebels stories so far. One is a story driven by a cameo from the larger Star Wars universe. Another is a big swing at some brand new worldbuilding and an exploration into tone and style that is totally brand new for the show. And the third is, unfortunately (and of course), a lackluster Sabine episode that doesn't even have the decency to give her credit for her own good ideas. Ah well, maybe next time!

Folks, we did it. After a middling pair of episodes last time and with what looked like a connected pair of stories coming up, we decided to call an audible and increase our episode count to three! So, today, join us on a journey across the galaxy: First into an experimental imperial weapon with its origin in the EU glory days of old, then on a planetary hunt for force-sensitive babies, and finally a return to Lothal where a troubled Ezra Bridger finally gets some answers about his family.

Not to dunk on it too badly, but so little of note happened in “The Wynkahthu Job” (Rebels S3, Ep. 9) that we added “Visions and Voices” (Rebels S3, Ep. 11) to our watch this week. Combined, these episodes show that there are two Boomers inside of you—a Hondo and a Maul—and you become the one you feed. We spend quality time on Dathomir getting hassled by Nightsister ghosts, and watch Thrawn touring the facility and picking up slack on Lothal. Join us this week for an impromptu triple-header as we explore themes of sabotage, betrayal, and oppression. We also talk about the next owner of the darksaber, Maul's trauma-goggles, and Ezra growing up. Want even more Growing Up Skywalker?

“Legacy” and “A Princess on Lothal” (Rebels S2, Ep. 11–12) dive deep into why and how the Force calls—and how it moves the universe. It also introduces us to sassy, 16-year-old Leia Organa on her very first mission. Cue absolute delight. We centered this week's discussion on heritage, both Ezra's and Leia's, and the gifts they've gotten from their families. We also call back to the many ties that bind Rebels and Andor together, from shady prison-labor camps to two very differently handled prison breaks. We also zoom out and discuss why new fans and veteran fans both have something beautiful to look forward to. Want even more Growing Up Skywalker?

This week Matthew and Riki discuss two pivotal episodes from season 4 of Star Wars Rebels. In episode 13, "A World Between Worlds," we're introduced to a mystical realm that connects all of time and space in the Star Wars universe. Ezra is able to pull Ahsoka from her fateful duel with Darth Vader in this mystical world between worlds. While captivating visually, Matthew and Riki have some concerns about introducing this level of power over time and space into the Star Wars canon. It could act as an all-powerful plot device or retcon elements, which they worry may undermine storytelling. However, the concept allows Ahsoka to realistically survive and still be unavailable during the original trilogy.Episode 14, "A Fool's Hope," brings together a lovable ragtag group including Hondo, Gregor, Wolffe, and Ketsu to help liberate Lothal. Their fierce loyalty to Ezra feels genuinely earned after years of friendship and camaraderie. Ryder's fake betrayal of the rebels fools both the audience and the arrogant Governor Pryce, contrasting her ego with Grand Admiral Thrawn's true cunning. Visually, a standout moment involves the Loth-wolves' glowing eyes emerging from darkness to terrify the imperials.After the plot discussion, Matthew and Riki go into spoilers, analyzing how these episodes connect to Ahsoka's mysterious absence after Return of the Jedi and her role in the recent Ahsoka TV show. Riki continues to be moved by the special relationship between Ezra and his master Kanan. They also recommend the new Thrawn books for more context on these events. As always, this episode offers thoughtful insight for both casual and diehard fans of Star Wars and its beloved animated series.No member bonus content for this one. We've started the conversation.

Ahsoka episodes 1 and 2 break down & EK Johnston interview! Dominic, Ben, Chris, and Hannah are back to discuss the first two episodes of Ahsoka, “Master and Apprentice” and “Toil and Trouble”. They discuss the introductions to Ahsoka, Sabine, Baylan, and Shin, as well as our return to Lothal and the concept of other galaxies in the Star Wars universe. They also discuss what it means for Sabine to be able to tap into the Force and whether the series did enough to sell the Ahsoka and Sabine as master and apprentice. Plus, crawls, cliffhangers, and an edition of Ben's Connection Corner that is either too long or too short. And Dominic interviews author EK Johnston about her new novel Crimson Climb!
